iMedicalApps: Psych App Helps with Second-Line Meds

Useful for primary care docs treating psychiatric conditions

PsychoPharm Research was created by well-known internal medicine physician and medical app developer Joongheum Park, MD, who has created several key medical apps. This current one provides an interactive version of medical decision support trees for psychopharmacology.

The medication decision support trees used in the app have backing from a venerable institution: they were developed by the Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project at the Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry (South Shore Program), which was founded by David Osser, MD, an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard.

When dealing with patients who have depression, bipolar, and other psychiatric complaints, primary care physicians often have a difficult time of figuring out what to do when their first-line therapy hasn't worked. This application helps primary care physicians and psychiatrists go through that decision tree.

It's a must-have for primary care physicians, especially when choosing second-line options for patients who have depression or general anxiety disorders. The app also goes through complex decision trees for bipolar mania and other key psychiatric pathology.
